We're not lazy, we're trailblazers.  Pioneers, even.  It takes a special kind of person to take a day off from work or school to play a new game console.  And by "special" I mean "has extra vacation time accrued".  Enjoy those days off.  And for those of you satisfied with playing during non-work hours, I remind you that nobody ever wished they'd spent more time at the office.

I'm feeling silly this week, so it's time for a silly poll question.  Assume that video game items are real.  Which one would you want for yourself?  I've listed a few items as poll choices to get you started.  Cast a vote and leave some comments.  Someone out there must be able to justify using the Ice Beam in a practical setting.
